MUSI 2301 Music Theory IV: Extended Chromaticism and Contrapuntal Genres

This course begins with contrapuntal genres including the chorale prelude, the two-voice invention and fugal processes. Expanded chromatic harmonies such as Neapolitan and augmented sixth chords are followed by modulation to distantly related keys. Increased chromaticism and tonal ambiguity are explored by expanded tertian structures, enharmonic usages of chromatic harmonies, and chromatic third relationships.
